Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 392 Outsider

Samuel’s brows drew together when he heard her last name. “What’s your relationship with each other?”

Leonard’s eyes cut to him. “We don’t have one.”

Kelly’s gaze darkened noticeably. “Yeah, we’re just friends.”

Kathleen gave her a pointed look. It doesn’t look like they’re just platonic friends.

“Let’s go in, Mommy. I’m hungry.” Desiree pouted.

“All right.” Kathleen nodded. “You can put Desi down, Mr. Sullivan. She can walk on her own.”

Leonard did as told, and Desiree held Kathleen’s hand. “I want shrimp, Mommy.”

“Sure.” Kathleen smiled and led Desiree inside.

Meanwhile, Samuel glanced at Eilam and asked in a deep, affectionate voice, “Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m a man; I can endure hunger for a bit,” Eilam answered sensibly, holding onto Samuel’s other hand.

Samuel’s gaze softened. “All right, come along. We’ll go look for Mommy and Desi.”

“Okay!” The little boy nodded enthusiastically.

Leonard smirked at Ryder. “He has a wingman. What about you?”

Ryder grunted softly and strode into the restaurant.

Then, Leonard turned toward Kelly. “You can handle your parents alone, yeah? I won’t be heading up, then.”

Her parents were here on the second floor as well.

She said, “If you don’t show up with me, I’ll be in for a tongue lashing.”

Leonard’s expression cooled. “Kelly, I think I’ve made myself very clear.”

“I’m not twisting your arm here, Leonard. This is not an indication that I like you. I wouldn’t have met you if my family hadn’t pressured me,” she asserted.

“To be clear, it’s for the best if you don’t have feelings for me. I don’t want any trouble. Please tell your parents to give up trying to matchmake both of us,” he stated matter-of-factly.
